Stacey Sweet
Weekend Inside Edition Co-Anchor
Award-winning journalist Stacey Sweet joined INSIDE EDITION as a correspondent last season directly from News 12 Long Island, where she served in many capacities during her four-year stint. This season, Sweet steps into her new role as co-anchor of the weekend show, sharing that desk with veteran sports broadcaster, Don Criqui.

Stacey went from general assignment reporter, to special projects correspondent, to medical correspondent/producer at the Long Island cable news station, earning the respect and admiration of her colleagues with her outstanding reports which both informed and touched people's lives.

Sweet's special three-part series, "Fighting Back Against Breast Cancer," won an award for Excellence in Specialized Reporting 1996 from the Press Club of Long Island. Her health reports earned the Outstanding Health And Fitness Reporting 1995 Award from the International Chiropractor's Association.

Stacey's other work at News 12 include a three-part series on the "Resurgence of Heroin On Long Island," and a special seven-part series, "The Budget Battle," which examined the effects of budget cuts on Long Island life. On the medical front, she produced a special report on "Bone Marrow Transplants." Stacey also reported on the crash of TWA Flight 800 and the Long Island wildfires.

Her recent work at INSIDE EDITION included a poignant and compelling interview with a former Playboy Playmate with AIDS, Rebekka Armstrong and a touching report on a little-known affliction known as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), which causes normal looking people to become obsessed with the thought that they are ugly.

Stacey is a force on the entertainment front as well and has done in-depth interviews with Oprah's steady, Stedman Graham and country sensation Deana Carter. The high point of her coverage of the Academy Awards last year was when Best Supporting Actor, Cuba Gooding spun her into the air after showing her his Oscar!

Stacey Sweet is a native of Long Island, where she still resides, and attended Hofstra University, where she studied Speech Arts and Communications.
